Chapter 2124 The Yin Heart Puppets

Chapter 2124  The Yin Heart Puppets

Before coming to the Rust Sky world, Ziran had studied the geography of the world as well as any other information he might need.

He had been an explorer for thousands of years and knew that such information was absolutely necessary when one went to a new place. If one already knew about the place, they would know what to watch out for as well was what dangers lay there.

It wouldn't matter what kind of dangers they were either, whether they be geological, animal or political in nature. All sorts could be managed as long as one was aware about them and could think about solutions to them.

As such, one of the basic things that Ziran had studied was the dangerous areas of the Rust Sky World, the forbidden lands.

Once such place could be considered the Sea of Muxuan that was full of story seas as well as stray spatial anomalies that could send one anywhere. Only the most skilled of sailors could traverse the sea with the assistance of the special lighthouses that guided them.

And in this Sea of Muxuan there were many islands, the biggest of which was the Land of Exile. A place one could not escape due to its unique properties as well as the danger that lurked within it.

"How did you… end up in the land of exile?" Ziran asked.

"It's a long story… But when I first came to the Rust Sky World, my teleportation went a bit haywire and I was thrown into the Land of Exile." Lin Mu replied. "A teleportation accident?" Ziran furrowed his brows while others were surprised by this information.

Even Lady Kang who had looked into Lin Mu and his history was surprised, as nothing of this sort was recorded anywhere. The others had similar thoughts and didn't know what else Lin Mu had experienced in his past. But while they were thinking all this, Ziran seemed to have reached a realization.

"Of course! The Spatial anomalies!" Ziran exclaimed. "The regular spatial anomalies have weakened the Spatial Fabric there, making it easier for Teleportation channels to skew towards them and ejecting people there. You just happened to be unlucky enough to be thrown right into the Land of Exile." He explained.

Lin Mu raised his brows, as he hadn't expected someone to understand it this well. Him and Xukong had reached the same conclusion in the past as to why he ended up specifically in the Land of Exile and not anywhere else in the Rust Sky world.

The answer for it was indeed the unique spatial structure around the Sea of Muxuan.

The Teleportation Channel Lin Mu had taken from the Xiaofan world didn't have a set of coordinates in the first place, and as such it was merely sending them through whatever path was available through the space. It was like water taking the easiest route through grains of sand before eventually reaching the bottom.

"Yes, that's where I encountered the Chasm Beasts." Lin Mu nodded. "More specially, there is a large chasm that splits the Land Of Exile into two sections. It is from this very Chasm that these Chasm Beasts spawn. It also contained a similar dark energy to what we saw in the first trial. Those were the same beasts that I fought there." He explained.

"I see… Considering how rare the Yin Heart Puppets are now, it isn't unusual for them to be called different names." Ziran responded. "But I certainly didn't expect them to found in another place in the Rust Sky World. I can still understand them being in a Celestial's Inheritance like this since it is old, but not anywhere outside. Especially considering the condition they need to be spawned." He spoke as slight confusion appeared on his face.

"So what are these Yin Heart Puppets exactly? And why is it strange for them to be there?" Lin Mu questioned while others also wondered the same.

Even Lady Kang had not heard of Yin Heart puppets before and neither had the other people. "Well, as you already know, Yin Heart Puppets are a type of Illusory beast formed though the manipulation of a specific mixture of Yin Qi and transform it into the dark energy you've seen. This Dark energy is called as the Yin Heart essence and is highly versatile, being able to combined with the other elements.

It can animate all kinds of materials and assimilate the energy to give birth to the Yin Heart Puppets." Ziran started to explain.

"Wait… if these are puppets, who's controlling them?" Daoist Chu questioned. "Well, in the current case it is almost certain that the inheritance ground itself is controlling them." Ziran answered before looking at Lin Mu. "But in the case of the Chasm beasts… I do not know." 11:59

Lin Mu's expression darkened as he recalled his encounter with that strange indigo woman. Her power was something that was far too great for an Immortal and she was also controlling the Yin Heart Puppets. Lin Mu had even seen her create different kinds of them on the asteroid.

"You've said you have seen these Yin Heart Puppets before, where was it?" Lady Kang questioned next.

"I've seen this specifically thrice in my explorations." Ziran answered. "The first time I encountered them was in a Mortal world and those Yin Heart Puppets were rather weak since they were only being powered by the Spirit Qi. That world was relatively small and there wasn't much human population either, with most of it being occupied by beasts. The place I found the Yin Heart Puppets there was at an old temple, and they were protecting it. The temple was far too dilapidated for me to tell whom it belonged to thus I left the place. But when I encountered them the second time, it was in an Immortal world.

There were tens of thousands of Yin Heart Puppets all being controlled by one of the ruling powers of that world." He revealed.

"What world was it?" Monk Hushu questioned.

"The Greengage Plain World." Ziran answered.

"Greengage Plain World?" Daoist Chu seemed to have recalled something and pulled out a jade slip before going through it.

"I'll make it easy for you… That world is now destroyed." Ziran spoke.

Daoist Chu paused upon hearing that, before quickly switching to a specific section and finding the world.

"Here it is… Greengage Plain World, located in the outskirts of the Southern Immortal Court's territory. Was a freshly ascended immortal world about a hundred thousand years ago, but was devastated by the conflict among its residents. It was officially deemed 'lost' eight thousand years ago by the Immortal Court once the Beacons of the Guardian beasts were wiped out." Daoist Chu read the entry.

"Is that… Correct?" Lin Mu asked, looking at Ziran.

"Indeed… I was among the last few people to be there." Ziran nodded.

"No way… This entry, it was made by you?" Daoist Chu asked in shock. "It's written right here," he showed the others.

Lin Mu saw it too and noted that Ziran's name was recorded alongside a few more people, some of whom belonged to the Immortal Court.

"So you went there for work?" Lin Mu asked, feeling very curious.

12:00

"Yes, back when I was still active in exploration, the Immortal Court commissioned me for it. I was one of the few people that knew of that region and as such, they asked for my guidance." Ziran replied. "We arrived at the last struggle of that world when the battle was about to reach its end. The two powers of the Greengage World, the Renegade Asura Sect and the Onyx Jackal Sect had been in a war for a long time.

It was also the Onyx Jackal Sect that had been using the Yin Heat Puppets." He revealed.

Hearing all that, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a bit of Deja Vu.

"Anyway, that was the second time I saw those beasts. And since I saw their true power that day, I was interested in learning more about them, but even the Immortal Court's members seemed to lack information about them. It wasn't until four thousand years later that I saw them for the third time." Ziran spoke.

"And where was the third time?" Lin Mu questioned.

"On the Demon World." Ziran answered. "We had an invasion of sorts." He added.

"What?!" Lin Mu was shocked and so were the others. "There aren't many that would dare to invade a Demon World… especially not if they aren't on the hit list of the Immortal Court. Demons are still a neutral race as deemed by the Immortal court." Lady Kang stated.

"Exactly. Which is why we were sure that this was not an invasion by any orthodox power." Ziran replied. "It was by a group of six individuals that had come to the Demon World to search for something. The invasion was only staged by them as a way to disguise their real goal.

They too used the Yin Heart Puppets to make it seem like they had come to decimate the world, but they themselves were searching for something." He added.

"What were they searching for?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Well… When we defeated them, we couldn't make them tell us that. But we did find out who they were… They apparently belonged to Onyx Chimeric Legion." Ziran answered. "I looked into their background, but found little information other than the fact that they were an old power that belonged to a great being.

But had long since disbanded and had fallen from their glory." He revealed, making Lin Mu furrowed his brows.
